UNION CONFIRMED
weird that they've gone with a second blue that's not in their crest. it wouldn't look good with the colour palette they have already, but meh. they've gotten rid of the "naked" away kits, they only wore them once in the league this year after bringing in their white 3rd kit. makes sense, it works better with the sponsor. added note, they also now officially have 4 shades of blue in their away kit!





SEATTLE 3RD CONFIRMED
(now with 20% more beer gut and 100% of your daily intake of "OH GOD MY RETINAS!"





DC UNITED CONFIRMED
now with 50% more assurance that they're staying in DC? i was really hoping theyd bring back the three stripes but they did a palette swap of the great britain kit. aways are ugly, homes are probably the best kits in the league. DC has never done wrong with the home kit in my books.







COLUMBUS CREW CONFIRMED
jesus christ. anyone need a towel/apron? they aways look like a throwback to their first aways, but that doesn't stop them from being the ugliest thing ever.






PORTLAND RUMOURED 3RD
apparently this is for cup competitions, they were getting flack for not having a lighter option in their arsenal. expect this with green shorts that they can mix with their home kits like their first unveil.




MONTREAL SNEAK PEEK
fleur-de-lis? i know, i'm just as shocked as you are. hopefully they keep the pink aways, if anyone could pull it off, it'd be montreal. im all about teams establishing identities in the league, DC united rock black, chivas has the stripes, dallas has the hoops and im fucking sick of white aways.

Philly's new kit is very sharp. Conversely, Columbus now has the worst kit to match the worst logo in MLS.

[Wagner]

isn't the DC - White jersey pretty similar to the new TFC Supporters kit?
is it the same template?

[Carts]

Love the DC black kit... Really like the White one, just hate collars on kits (personal thing, I know a lot of people like them)...

Columbus 1/2 "we ran out of colour dye kit" is just STUPID!

[BS1327]

The sad thing is some one actually got paid to design that awful Columbus away shirt. I thought it was a joke ther first time I saw it.

I wouldn't mind if TFC had a black third kit similar to DC's! Its really sharp!

I want to meet the person who designed it, and selection committee that approved it and ask "...do you honestly believe that looks good? Really? Really?..." lol

[__wowza]

the columbus away kit should have

that way whores can enjoy the kit too!

[Stryker]

I like Philly's new jersey. I think it's quite sharp. Seattle started the league with a stylish bang as both of their first jerseys were awesome but everything since has been fugly.

LOL. Would be a smart move on their part considering 65% of their fan base is part of the Skankius Nastius species.

[deltox]

and does anyone have the pic of the new TFC supporters kit?

[Wagner]

over/under on the number of retail sales of the Krew away jersey?

9.5?

probably a few rabid collectors?
visually impaired fans?

I think it looks a lot better than the TFC supporter's kit.

[Phil]

The new Philly kit is nice, glad to see the Gold dumped.

The seattle one looks aweful as does the Columbus one. Ugly kits can be fun but the Columbus one lookes unispired and lazy. Suits Columbus.

[SuperTCP]

The Columbus one is aweful! Looks like they could only afford to Pay Adidas for 1/3 of the design.

[Oldtimer]

Love that DC kit. That's the best one of theirs, yet.

Anyone else notice that the Krew chose to have two lilly-white models (a cheerleader and a player?) to pose in their kit? No surprise there...

[Waggy]

If that Crew jersey was a full jersey I think it'd look pretty good. As is it might be the most ridiculous kit in the league


How does Seattle CONTINUE to have horrible 3rd Jerseys? They're one of the most supported clubs in the country, get a decent freaking design and colour scheme already.

[PearceCFC]

I don't think I've ever seen such an ugly jersey in my entire life... What is wrong with Seattle?

[Razor]

love the DC United kit...very sharp!

If you think Seattle is bad, scroll down to the Crew - it trumps it as its only "1/3 a kit"... LOL!

Looks like Columbus's budget ran out just above the nipples.

[dantdot]

So I wasn't paying attention and assumed they were teasing on the second crew shirt, that they'd release the rest of it later. That thing is real? Holy balls.

[no1redsfan]

I never understood stood why more teams don't go with purple.
It's a very complimentary colour to turf and grass's natural green.

As far as Toronto's third jersey goes, I hope they stray away from the
primary colours and do something completely different. BMO Blue perhaps.

Also, this may be wishful thinking, but if TFC ever do decide to make
a majour change in their kits, I'll be hoping for a red & yellow combination.
Look at teams like Lens (France) or Watford (England). This combo works,
and as far as I know, no MLS team has tried it. It also ties in to the Toronto
Transit Commission colour scheme. To me, red & white seem so 'plain jane'.

Perhaps a name change could also be in the cards.....Toronto Red Rockets
You know, keep a bit of the old but also hint at a new direction.

P.S. I'm still kinda ticked off this club doesn't call itself the 007's
